I think they compliment each other.

The Eperney's are softer but just as flavorful. More of a savory sweet quality. Nice complexity. Start with the Le Elegence. That wrapper and tobacco are just great. The Le Ferme is good, too.
Agreed. These are a must smoke...

These sound more my style over the powerhouse smokes that are so the rage in recent years. Need to dig in my singles see if I have any to smoke sooner than later.

Love them! Great stick! My favorite is the Le Ferme. I wish they came in boxes with 10, 20, or 25 per.

Here's a question...

Why is it that these seem to only be available in cabinets of 50, other than the Le Matin size?

Oh, and consider the sampler purchased :)

Having blended the Epernay for a European palate, Dion decided to package it the way Europeans tend to purchase their sticks, i.e. in cabinets. At least that's what a trustworthy source told me at my B&M when I asked the same question....

I smoked one Epernay and wasn't very impressed. I prefer the Illusione MJ12 over this one any day. Just me I guess. (MJ12 is my FAVORITE smoke)

The Epernays really shine in the smaller RG's. I smoked a couple of the Le Monde size (similar size to the MJ12) and wasn't that impressed, but all the Le Petite's I've smoke d have been flavor bombs! MJ12 is a great stick as well though. Cheers.

Agreed, while I really like them all the smaller RG's are tastiest.

Agree! The Le Elegence is one of my favorite sticks.
